Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, HHS. 

In compliance with the requirement 

of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS) is publishing the 

following summary of proposed 

collections for public comment. 

Interested persons are invited to send 

comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this 

collection of information, including any 

of the following subjects: (1) The 

necessity and utility of the proposed 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the agency’s functions; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden. 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection (request for a 

new OMB control number). Title of 

Information Collection: Consumer 

Research Supporting Outreach for 

Health Insurance Marketplace. Use: The 

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 

Services is requesting clearance for two 

surveys to aid in understanding levels of 

awareness and customer service needs 

associated with the Health Insurance 

Marketplace established by the 

Affordable Care Act. Because the 

Marketplace will provide coverage to 

the almost 50 million uninsured in the 

United States through individual and 

small employer programs, we have 

developed one survey to be 

administered to individual consumers 

most likely to use the Marketplace and 

another to be administered to small 

employers most likely to use the Small 

Business Health Options portion of the 

Marketplace. These brief surveys, 

designed to be conducted quarterly, will 

give CMS the ability to obtain a rough 

indication of the types of outreach and 

marketing that will be needed to 

enhance awareness of and knowledge 

about the Marketplace for individual 

and business customers. CMS’ biggest 

customer service need is likely to be 

providing sufficient education so 

consumers: (a) can take advantage of the 

Marketplace and (b) know how to access 

CMS’ customer service channels. The 

surveys will provide information on 

media use, concept awareness, and 

conceptual or content areas where 

education for customer service delivery 

can be improved. Awareness and 

knowledge gaps are likely to change 

over time based not only on 

effectiveness of CMS’ marketing efforts, 

but also of those of state, local, private 

sector, and nongovernmental 

organizations. Form Number: CMS– 

10458 (OCN: 0938-New). Frequency: 

Quarterly. Affected Public: Individuals 

or households, Private Sector (business 

or other for-profits). Number of 

Respondents: 40,200. Total Annual 

Responses: 40,200. Total Annual Hours: 

2,480. (For policy questions regarding 

this collection contact Clarese Astrin at 

410–786–5424. For all other issues call 

410–786–1326.)
